Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.6/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Fuck Kraftwerk, this offshoot is the better product of 70s krautrock. Perfect focus music, perfect driving music, just a varied, weird, delightful album.
Hallogallo is great and I quite like Weissensee but the rest is meaningless noise or otherwise good melodies covered with noise. The last track is extremely uncomfortable for me to listen.
ambient instrumental sparse very soothing with a mix of punk krautrock
Neu! is enchanting and at a lot of the times throughout the album it is beautiful. This is highlighted on the likes of Hallogallo, Weissensee and Negativland, all of which are so delicately composed and a pure joy to listen too. However, there is definitely an argument for some of the tracks to be filler content and not essential to the album such as the closing track which seems a bit out of place. Overall the album is a masterclass of Krautrock and a pleasure to listen too.

Much like every other krautrock album ever made, Neu! is very hypnotic. It's very impressive how much bands like Neu! are able to do with what little they allow themselves. It's music to listen to in pretty much any situation I can think of myself in. I can’t help but think it must be very boring to be the drummer in this band.
And they call prog rock pretentious...
In all seriousness, I can appreciate that Neu! confounded traditional pop/rock convention at a time when it wasn't popular to do so. But beyond that there's not enough here that's interesting or attention grabbing to me to keep me coming back.
Neu starts out with an enjoyable acoustic track but then becomes only white noise.
Murky and chilling, this album includes two brilliant guitar tracks ("Hallogallo" & the darker "Negativland"), a stunning haunting closer "Lieber Honig" & three great ambient tracks. The ambient pieces + the closing song sound like they ooze sludge and this felt really visceral.
The record is dark, atmospheric and industrial and it most certainly held my interest; it feels like going on several rides in an abandoned amusement park. A brilliant piece of art that has stood the test of time, like so much of krautrock.

An experimental album that jives with me.
